The matchday 26 Premier League fixture between Chelsea vs Leeds United will take place on 10 February at Stamford Bridge in London. Chelsea vs Leeds United: prediction, betting odds and statistics.
Chelsea
The home side visited Wolverhampton Wanderers at the weekend and beat the relegation candidates 3:1. Cole Palmer scored a hat-trick in that match. The hosts have made excellent use of a kind run of fixtures that handed them four games in a row against weaker opponents — and they won all of them, scoring at least twice in every match. Incidentally, Chelsea have not enjoyed a run like that in the Premier League since December 2024. The club remain fifth in the standings, just one point outside the top four.
- At least three goals were scored in 7 of the Londoners’ previous 9 Premier League matches.
- Both teams scored in 8 of Chelsea’s last 9 league games.
- The club are unbeaten in 6 of their previous 7 home Premier League matches (4 wins and 2 draws).
Potential Chelsea Lineup (4-5-1)*
Robert Sanchez — Malo Gusto, Trevoh Chalobah, Marc Cucurella, Wesley Fofana — Cole Palmer, Enzo Fernandez, Andrey Santos, Moises Caicedo, Pedro Neto — Joao Pedro.
Defenders Tosin Adarabioyo and Levi Colwill, as well as midfielders Jamie Gittens, Dario Essugo and Romeo Lavia, will miss the match through injury.
Leeds United
The visitors responded quickly to a surprisingly heavy home defeat to Arsenal (0:4). In their very next match — also at home — the away side eased past Nottingham Forest (3:1). Leeds United have now scored at least three goals for the sixth time in the current league campaign. Despite sitting a lowly 16th in the standings, their cushion above the relegation zone remains a healthy one — six points. At the same time, the team concede plenty — 43 goals, with only the bottom three posting worse defensive figures.
- The team have scored in 13 of their last 15 Premier League matches.
- Both teams scored in 12 of Leeds United’s previous 15 league games.
- Across their last 12 Premier League matches, the club have suffered only two defeats (4 wins and 6 draws).
Potential Leeds United Lineup (3-4-2-1)*
Karl Darlow — Joe Rodon, James Justin, Pascal Struijk — Ethan Ampadu, Ilia Gruev, Jayden Bogle, Gabriel Gudmundsson — Noah Okafor, Brenden Aaronson — Dominic Calvert-Lewin.
Midfielder Anton Stach is injured.

Chelsea vs Leeds United: Match Prediction
Having begun to close in on Manchester United in the race for fourth place, the home side — along with the team from Old Trafford — have almost caught up with third-placed Aston Villa. Notably, both clubs are currently on the best winning runs in the league — four victories apiece. It is also worth noting that all of these wins have come under Liam Rosenior, who became only the second English coach in Premier League history to win his first four matches in charge (previously Craig Shakespeare achieved the feat with Leicester City in 2017). And judging by the football Chelsea are producing, that run looks set to continue.
Leeds United are very strong at Elland Road, but they have looked unconvincing on the road. The club have failed to win nine consecutive away Premier League matches (4 draws and 5 defeats). Meanwhile, the hosts have won 14 of their previous 21 home league games (4 draws and 3 defeats). It is also worth adding that Chelsea have won their last six Premier League home head-to-heads against Leeds United.
In addition, we are expecting both teams to score in this contest. After all, both sides found the net in 8 of the previous 9 matches involving Chelsea and in 12 of Leeds United’s last 15 Premier League games. Therefore, we will suggest a combined bet — Chelsea to win + Both teams to score – Yes.
Prediction: Chelsea to win + Both teams to score – Yes
